"Before being dismantled by Bayern, Hoffenheim was undefeated over its last seven matches, only dropping points in a 0-0 draw at Stuttgart. "We respect Hoffenheim and knew they were a good team, so this result is good," said Kompany (via @iMiaSanMia). "We didn't want much more from this game, and we're where we need to be. Now our full focus is on Leipzig. We're always hungry to attack. But of course, you try to find a balance."
""I have a lot of experience in these kinds of situations where you can ultimately win something," Kompany added. "You need to stay focused. Whether you get three points, put in a good or bad performance - you have to put it behind you immediately and give your best again in the next game. That's how you sometimes get into a flow, a rhythm."
Bayern Munich routed Hoffenheim 5-1, ending a brief run of dropped points and halting Hoffenheim's seven-match unbeaten run. Luis Díaz earned two penalty kicks converted by Harry Kane and completed his first Bayern hat trick with three clever finishes. Bayern had scored five goals in their past three matches combined, offering Kompany reassurance about the team's form. Borussia Dortmund sits six points behind, keeping the title race tight and demanding continued focus. Bayern now has three days to prepare for a crucial DFB-Pokal quarterfinal against RB Leipzig, who have won the competition twice since 2020.
